Photo Comment

This is a 301SQ F4EJ photographed at the JASDF Nyutabaru Air Base Air Show held on Sunday, November 26, 1989. There were five aircraft in total with this paint job. These aircraft participated in the 1989 JASDF Air Combat Competition, and this paint job was applied to the aircraft to boost morale. The "Amigo" lettering on the fuselage was the call sign of 301SQ at the time. The five aircraft also had different shaped shark mouths.
